Armenia has sent application letter and is accepted by FIR Council as FIR member 30 from 1st January 2012. Marcel reminds that the process is too slow and asks for help of everyone to achieve goal of 40 member states in 2012 to become Sports Accord Member. Romania and Ireland have handed in papers. Denmark and New Zealand are expected next, because from 2012 all elite players must have an existing national federation. South Africa mentioned contacts with Zimbabwe (More info in Power Point AGM 2011). 2) Letter of NOC or NSF Recognition (Marcel Weigl) So far only 6 FIR members Austria, Bulgaria Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland and Latvia have a letter of national recognition by the respective NOC – National Olympic Comitee or NSF – National Sports Federation. All other have not shown FIR an answer from official authorities. Marcel Weigl explains again why NOC or NSF recognition for each national federation is so important and the only way to become Sportsaccord member and an official sport. Marcel asks all country representatives again to do their homework please and get a written answer from their NOC or NSF even if that answer is negative. Marcel will travel to Sportsaccord in Lausanne before Summer 2012 and needs to be able to present answers. (More info in Power Point AGM 2011). 3) Confirmation of Minutes AGM 2010 and Finances 2010 (Marcel Weigl) The minutes of the AGM 2010 and the Finances 2010 which show 3988 Euro on the FIR bank account on 31st December 2010 were confirmed by all country representatives unanimously (More info in Power Point AGM 2011). 4) Report of the Council 2011 (Council Members) Marcel Weigl presented a Powerpoint Presentation on behalf of the Council from 2011, with all present council members giving a short report on their working areas.

Comments by the country representatives regarding the report: 5) Finances review 2011, preview 2012 (Lennart Eklundh) The preliminary result for 2011 is positive and shows that the budget of around 34.000€ can be held and is even. Around 12.000 Euro have only come in over licenses, which secure the head office in Vienna. In 2011 the budget at the end of the year shall be even. A preliminary calculation by Treasurer Lennart Eklundh for 2012 has already been made.

Main issues are to increase the number of member states to 40 recognised by the national NOCs and NSFs. The webpage www.racketlon.net was relaunched and Racketlon shall now be spread on the social media Twitter, Facebook and so forth. The World Tour events must be even better quality and money needs to be found for the World Tour. Other major improvements concern Resultreporter and the rankings system. (See more in Power Point AGM 2011). b) Candidates (Volker Sach) Head of elections Volker Sach reports that only one group around Executive-President Marcel Weigl has run for the elections. All of the present candidates spoke for a couple of minutes to present themselves. Short presentations of all candidates can be found in the Power Point AGM 2011. Marcel Weigl, Austria: Executive-President Lennart Eklundh, Sweden: Vice-President/Treasurer Poku Salo, Finland: Rankings/Olympic Draws Karim Hanna, Switzerland: Rules Gianpaolo Martire, Italy: Marketing Gary Tovey, England: Social/New Media Puzant Kassabian, Bulgaria: New Members/Balkan Countries Dany Lessard, Canada: Tournament Support/America Ahmad Bahadli, Iraq: World Tour/Subsidaries/Arab Countries After listening to all candidates the AGM confirmed the FIR Council from 2012 to 2014 unanimously. 9) Requests by FIR Members (Marcel Weigl on behalf of Karim Hanna) In the name of FIR Council, President Marcel Weigl made the following request to the AGM: FIR Council requests a change of the voting power of the General Meeting, because all 29 member states now have registered a legal federation and there is no more need to get a basic vote for that. In addition the maximum votes per country shall be limited to six. The exact wording can be found in the Power Point AGM 2011. The AGM confirmed the change of the voting power in the FIR statutes unanimously. 10) Any other Business (Marcel Weigl) Marcel reports of his e-mail contact with Hans Mullamaa about www.racketlon.com, which is hardly updated and giving a bad image to the international Racketlon sport. _______________________________________________________________________ FIR – Federation Internationale de Racketlon | Austria/Europe | Leopoldstr. 21/5/12 3400 Klosterneuburg | Tel/Fax +432243/30488 | Mobil +43664/4012575 E-Mail [email protected] | Web www.racketlon.net | ZVR 163214464 FIR - RACKETLON 6) Members Report 2011 All present countries gave a small report on the situation in their countries: Austria Christoph Krenn employed and paid as General Secretary since one year. In 2011 around 30 national tournaments with an average of 40 players per tournament took place in all 9 provinces. 24 Racketlon clubs exist and the Bundesliga team tournament is the strongest in the world with two leagues and a total of 12 teams plus 5 junior teams (u21). Austria hosted World Champs 2011 and will hold two World Tour events 2012 plus the World Sports Festival including Racketlon for juniors u13 to u21 from 5th to 8th July. Belgium In Belgium 14 tournaments were held 2011, but after five years one can now feel the stagnation, with less inscriptions. For that reason the Belgian federation is now looking for cooperation with the other racket sports federations. Bulgaria After years of quietness Bulgaria is now fully back with Racketlon after Squash courts have been built on the National Sports Academy grounds in Sofia, where an IWT Tournament was held 2011 and where the Double and Team World Champs will take place 2012. Ministry of sports will support the event, hosted by the Bulgarian Racketlon Federation which is recognised by the Bulgarian National Sports Federation. Tournament Director and President Puzant Kassabian also joins the FIR Council from 2012 again. Canada Dany Lessard took over as new national president and also joined the FIR Council. 8 national tournaments were held in 2011 with many new players in new cities like Quebec, Calgary, Montana. IWT Granby was on the FIR World Tour and is also there 2012. Another Challenger is also planned, plus assistance for the USA to start with a Challenger. Czech Republic A lot of tournaments are offered and 10 Racketlon centres in the country (e.g.

  • Racketlon Is the Sport in Which You Play Your Opponent in Each of the Four Racket Sports Table Tennis, Badminton, Squash and Tennis
    Rules Racketlon is the sport in which you play your opponent in each of the four racket sports table tennis, badminton, squash and tennis. In general the rules of the single sports are applicable. The following rules are exceptions and extensions. Order of sets Tischtennis, Badminton, Squash, Tennis - From the smallest to the largest racket. Counting 4 set until 21 points - At 20:20 the set is extended until there is a margin of two points. Running Score - Each ralley results in a point. The one who serves also counts. Total points count - The winner of a Racketlon match is not the one that wins most sets but the one that scores the most points in total. This means that it is possible to lose three out of the four sets and still win the match! Gummiarm Tiebreak - If, after all 4 sets, both players have exactly the same number of points, then one extra point is played in tennis. The toss decides who will serve. The one who serves has only one serve instead of two. Serving & End of courts Toss before the match - The winner of the toss decides whether to start serving or receiving in table tennis. The player, who starts serving in table tennis, starts receiving in badminton, starts serving in squash and starts receiving in tennis. In each set the player who starts receiving decides what end to start the set from. Switch at 11 - Ends are switched at the time when 11 points are first reached by any of the players (exception in Squash: The player who serves decides as well what end to start.

    MAGISTERARBEIT Titel der Magisterarbeit Darstellung und Entwicklung der Sportart Racketlon in Österreich verfasst von Christoph Krenn, Bakk.rer.nat. angestrebter akademischer Grad Magister der Naturwissenschaften (Mag.rer.nat.) Wien, im November 2015 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 066 826 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Magisterstudium Sportwissenschaft Betreut von: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Otmar Weiß Abstract Die vorliegende Magisterarbeit befasst sich mit der Darstellung und Entwicklung der Sportart Racketlon in Österreich. Seit der Gründung des Verbandes im Jahr 2004 bis zum heutigen Zeitpunkt, ist der Verband auf 34 Mitgliedsverein in allen Bundesländern angewachsen. Im Racketlon spielt man gegen eine Gegnerin oder einen Gegner die Sportarten Tischtennis, Badminton, Squash und Tennis. Nach einer kurzen Einleitung über die Regeln der vier Sportarten wird auf den Racketlon- Verband eingegangen und anhand verschiedener Statistiken zu Vereinsgründungen, Anzahl von Turnieren oder Teilnehmerzahlen die Entwicklung von Racketlon in Österreich dargestellt. Im empirischen Teil wird das sportliche und soziodemografische Profil eines Racketlonspielers untersucht. Durch die Auswertung von 193 ausgefüllten Fragebögen einer Online-Umfrage konnten viele Daten über die österreichischen Spielerinnen und Spieler gewonnen werden. Die Sportlerinnen und Sportler, die diesen Sport ausüben, weisen ein deutlich höheres Bildungsniveau als der österreichische Durchschnitt auf. Die Bundesländer, in denen schon länger gespielt wird, haben ein größeres Turnierangebot und mehr Aktive. Fast alle Befragten gaben an, mindestens eine der vier Sportarten hobbymäßig betrieben zu haben. Bevor mit Racketlon begonnen wurden, waren 35,4% noch in keinem Verein Mitglied. Jetzt, da sie Racketlon spielen, ist diese Zahl auf 16,6% gesunken. Keine der vier Sportarten hat Mitglieder verloren, ganz im Gegenteil: alle Teildisziplinen profitieren von Racketlon und von neu abgeschlossenen Vereinsmitgliedschaften.

  • Tactics on Badminton: Synergy Analysis for Racketlon
    International Journal of the Physical Sciences Vol. 7(6), pp. 937 - 943, 2 February, 2012 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/IJPS DOI: 10.5897/IJPS11.699 ISSN 1992 - 1950 © 2012 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Tactics on badminton: Synergy analysis for Racketlon Jye-Shyan Wang1, Chih-Fu Cheng1 and Chen-Yuan Chen2,3,4* 1Department of Physical Education, National Taiwan Normal University, No 162, HePing East Road Section 1, Taipei 10610, Taiwan. 2Department and Graduate School of Computer Science, National Pingtung University of Education, No. 4-18, Ming Shen Rd., Pingtung 90003, Taiwan. 3Department of Information Management, National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology, 2 Jhuoyue Rd. Nanzih, Kaohsiung 811, Taiwan. 4Global Earth Observation and Data Analysis Center, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 701, Taiwan. Accepted 23 January, 2012 This study aims to analyze sports in Racketlon events. Racketlon involves table tennis, badminton, squash and tennis. According to the documentation, it is found that, except for squash, all the other Racketlon sports are played with a net and are about challenging opponents. Therefore, attention should be paid to servers to obtain information and process it in order to respond to balls served. In addition, the learning migration theory should be applied to these 4 sports with rackets/paddles to find out their common grounds, to practice unique skills, train lower limbs, increase explosive force and improve the ability to handle pressure through sports psychology skill training methods. This way, Taiwan may have a chance to shine in Racketlon events. Key words: Racketlon, learning migration, information process.

  • Volume 2, Issue 1
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RACKET SPORTS SCIENCE VOLUME 2 Ê ISSUE 1 June, 2020 It is a privilege to be given the opportunity to introduce the first issue of Volume 2. A second volume of the Journal necessarily implies some success, as it represents a continuation of academic endeavour associated with racket sports. It is therefore also an opportunity to reflect on the progress of the Journal so far. The first volume contained papers that covered a range of sports science topics applied to racket sports. This, combined with the high academic standard of these papers is evidence that the Journal is meeting its ultimate goal which is … to create a platform for collaboration and cooperation among researchers, where sport scientist can come together and join forces to come up with new perspectives from where to keep expanding the knowledge involving all areas within the field of racket sports. (Cabello, M. D., 2019, Editorial) It has done this by adopting a rigorous editorial and review process. The high standard of submissions has been achieved by a process which involves initial screening, blind review by two or more experts in the field, amendment of the manuscript by the authors as guided by an associate editor, and finally editorial corrections to ensure consistency in production and use of language. The Editorial Board are proud that they are also able to provide guidance and support to papers that have an important message to convey, but lack some aspect of presentation that would hinder their progress through this demanding process. Of course, the editorial process could not have been developed without the commitment and support of a number of people and grateful thanks are given to all associated with it.
